Goodness me, this is a naughty one! I'm afraid those who are on the sensitive side should probably give this video with Nadine Baggott a miss - not only do we launch into an in-depth discussion about pubic hair preferences, Nadine introduces me to Scrotox. Not...
My Skincare Routine: Summer 2018
It's been over a year since my first (and last) "seasonal" skincare update, so that idea for a regular feature worked out well, didn't it? Why do I have such an aversion to my own deadlines? I can spend three hours thinking and writing about sink design, a topic so...
Lumiere Essentielle and The Two New Additions… | AD
Darphin have two brand new additions to their Lumiere Essentielle skincare range and they are absolutely gorgeous. Luxe-feeling, sweet-smelling and perfect for the summer months. There's a micellar cleanser, light in texture but rich in beautiful essential oils, and a...
Back to Beauty: Darphin Aromatic Renewing Balm
Right. I promised we'd get back to beauty, after my worrying spell of brain freeze, and so please let me introduce you to the little pot of balm that re-ignited my passion for product testing. Darphin's Aromatic Renewing Balm* almost escaped my notice due to its...
17 Most-Used Beauty Products of 2017
I only managed to go and film a new video, didn't I? After two false starts (one of them was realising I'd done the whole thing without actually pressing the record button) I managed to create a short(ish)list of my seventeen most-used beauty products from last year....
Skincare for New Mums
Skincare for New Mums (or Dads, let's not discriminate) - but the sorts of products I discuss, here, are suitable for virtually every skin type. Knackered skin, stressed skin, sensitive skin, dull skin - basically the sort of skin that you start to get when you become...
Some Beauty-Boosting Mood-Enhancers
Goodness I'm shattered. I mean really, really shattered. I'm not about to go into a huge whinge about why I'm so shattered, I just wanted to set the tone. Because the beauty products I'm about to tell you about have all had quite a dramatic effect on my mood in the...
Darphin and the All-Day Eye Refresh | AD
The last few weeks of pregnancy have not been kind to me, not in terms of peace and restfulness, anyway. Firstly, my nesting instinct kicked in, but instead of me polishing and sorting out drawers I've been on a crazy work frenzy, sending emails at midnight and...
Darphin’s Paris and the Lumiere Essentielle Collection | AD
A few weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Paris with gorgeous French skincare brand Darphin. I've been to Paris more times than I could ever begin to count, and I think it's easy to become blasé about cities you're familiar with, no matter how beautiful...

Space NK are running their brilliant £15 "try something new" discount again*, which means it's a great time to do your stocking up if you're running out of your favourite products. Or, if you're particularly organised, a good time to do a bit of Christmas shopping!...
My Random Holiday Skincare Selection…
I had around eighteen seconds to put together a washbag for my little mini-trip to the Isle of Wight and I thought it might be interesting* to show you what I packed in terms of skincare. You'll notice I've included a makeup product too; that's because the skincare...
Beauty Products for Dry Winter Skin
Starting off the new week with a skincare video; here's a roundup of the beauty products I've been slathering on my face in an attempt to beat the dreaded "winter dryness". I think my horrifically dry and tight skin has been more down to being ill rather than the...
